You Can Use A Serial ATA Cable, With Power Adapter, To Convert Your Pre 2009 Mac Pro From The Internal IDE Optical Drive Interface To The Internal Serial ATA Optical Drive Interface

You can use a Serial ATA Cable, with Power Adapter, to convert your pre 2009 Mac Pro from the internal IDE optical drive interface to the internal Serial ATA optical drive interface, which will allow you to use any SATA Internal DVD+/-RW Drive. This transition is necessary when it comes time to replace your IDE internal optical drive in your pre 2009 Mac Pro because all of the new IDE optical drives are completely depleted from the marketplace.

If you own a 2009-2012 Mac Pro, your computer is already using the Serial ATA optical drive interface and you can replace your drive with a new SATA Internal DVD+/-RW Drive without needing to install a Serial ATA Cable, with Power Adapter.

Hello there, thanks for blogging such wonderful information and compiling an excellent list for the readers. Hey, excited to see more tips and stay us learned like this! Everyone should check out this complete blog especially the components. Good work!

In 1983 I graduated from the Ringling SchooI of Art, in Sarasota, Fl. I got married to Linda in 1997 and we had our first child, Aaron, in 2001. We had our second child, Jennifer, in 2003. I bike ride less since I started having kids. In 1989 I was run over by a teenage driver while bike riding. I was thrown 12 feet and received a compressed third thoracic vertebra and recovered. I don't boldly claim my right of way around cars like I used to. I bike ride defensively now. Rails-to-trials bike paths go real well with me also. When I worked at an ad agency in the mid to late 1990's, I worked on a lot of brochures for Thompson Publishing. I loved some of the book cover designs they used and I knew I would love to design book covers some day. In recent years, self-published authors have been coming to me to design their book covers for print and ePub. So the book cover design part of my business has been growing. I work at home. The parlor by the front entrance of my house is my design studio. I enjoy solving design problems for my customers.
